170 APPENDIX. 



By the new law, " all game is made property, and full 

 power is given to the owners of such property, as well lords 

 of manors as any person having the right to kill game upon 

 such land, by virtue of any reservation or otherwise ; or for 

 the occupier of such land, (whether there shall or shall not 

 be any such right by reservation or otherwise,) or for any 

 gamekeeper or servant of either of them ; or for any person 

 acting by the order or in aid of any of them, to demand the 

 game from the person having it, and to take it from him if 

 he refuse to give it up, for the use of the person entitled to 

 the game, upon such land, forest, park, chase, or warren." 

 (Sec. 36.) The only modifying clause being, " that it appear 

 to have been recently killed." This authority, however, is 

 strictly limited to game. 



TRESPASS. " Every gamekeeper, or servant of any person 

 having the right to kill the game, or the occupier of the 

 land, or his servants, may require every trespasser in pursuit 

 of game, or woodcocks, snipes, quails, landrails, or conies, 

 to quit the land where he shall be found, and to tell his 

 Christian name, surname, and place of abode ; and in the 

 event of his refusal, or giving a false or general description 

 of himself, to apprehend and take him before a justice of 

 the peace, to be fined." (Sec. 31.) 



Keepers of lords of manors have no authority to kill game 

 except upon the land of which the lord is owner, or where 

 the .game belongs to him, as on commons or wastes, under 

 the statute, or where it may be reserved to him out of any 

 lease, or where he has a right of free warren. (Sec. 6.) 



" A gamekeeper, appointed for any manor, lordship, or 

 royalty, may take from any unqualified, that is, uncertifi- 

 cated persons, all such dogs, nets, and other engines and 

 instruments, for the killing or taking of game, as shall be 

 used within the limits of his right or authority." (Sec. 13.)
